Ingredients
- 250-300 g Skinless White Fish Fillets ~10oz
- 1 tablespoon Coarse Sea Salt
- ½ teaspoon Bicarbonate of Soda Baking Soda
- 1 Medium Red Chilli pepper
- 1 Garlic Clove
- 1 teaspoon Lemongrass paste
- 1 Lime
- 20 g Fresh Coriander ~½ Packed Cup
- 2 Burger Buns
- Cucumber Slices
- Iceberg Lettuce
- 3 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- ½-1 tablespoon Hot Sriracha Sauce
- Oil for Frying
Instructions
- Sprinkle the fish with the coarse sea salt and rub it all over the flesh before placing it in the fridge for an hour.
- Remove the fish and wash it thoroughly before patting it dry with kitchen paper.
- Cut the fish into thin (3-4mm or ⅛-¼" ) strips along the length of the fish, then cut those strips into a 3-4mm (⅛-¼") dice. Finally, using the knife in a rocking motion, chop through the fish 3-4 times to mince it further before placing the fish in a bowl.
- Add the bicarbonate of soda to the fish and mix well.
- Dice the chilli as finely as you can and add it to the fish.
- Peel the garlic and dice it as finely as you can and add it to the bowl.
- Zest the lime and add it to the fish.
- Finely chop 15g (¾s) of the coriander and add it to the fish and mix well.
- Form the mix into two burgers. I use a 9-10cm cookie cutter as a form to get a nicely shaped patty. Place the patties onto some baking parchment and then drop them in the fridge for an hour to firm up. It is important that you do not skip this step.
- Mix the sriracha sauce with the mayonnaise and juice of the lime.
- Finely chop the remaining coriander and add it to the sauce, and mix well.
- Finely slice the cucumber.
- Heat a frying pan with 2-3mm (⅛") of oil to a temperature of 170°C or 340°F.
- Add the fish burgers and fry for 3 minutes before flipping and cooking for another 3 minutes.
- Heat a griddle pan over high heat and toast the buns for 2-3 minutes.
- Build your burger, I start with lettuce, followed by the patty, then cucumber and finally the sriracha mayonnaise.
